miner who had successfully played this
game many time, paid visit to San
Francisco and during his stay was in

as he was seated at the table, the miner
began to eat up everything within range
in his usual vigorous style. His host

that when the stem is broken near the

Cleaning WALLPAPER.

Cut into eight portions a loaf of bread
two days old must neither be newer nor
staler. With one of these pieces, after
having blown off all the dust from the
paper to be cleaned by means of a good
pair OF bellows, begin at the top of the
room, holding the crust in the hand, and
wiping lightly downward with the
crumb, about half yard at each stroke
until the upper part of the paper is com
pletely cleaned al around. Then 90
round again, with the like sweeping
stroke downward, always commencing
each successive stroke a little higher
than the upper stroke had extended till
the bottom be finished. This operation,
if carefully performed, will frequently
make very old paper look almost equal
TO new. Great caution must be used
not by any means to rub the paper hard.
nor to attempt cleaning in the cross or
horizontal way. The dirty part of the
bread. too, must be continually cut away,
and the pieces renewed as may become
necessary. To take grease stains out of
wallpaper, mix pipe clay with water to
the consistency of cream, laying it on the
spot, and letting it remain TILL the fol-
lowing day, when it may be easily re-
moved with a penknife or brush.

A Costly Dinner.

The public hears from time to time
about expensive dinners that are given
BY wealthy men. Gen. George A Sheri-
dan. of New York, struck this topic the
other day in a conversation, and told this
story;
'.During the 1880 campaign two good
friends of mine bluffed each other into
bet of 3 900 on Garfield and Hancock.
They were both full of sand, and both

the bet was made, and after they had

rot them to compromise on a dinner for
fifteen persons at Delmonico's, having

and told him wanted the best Dime
